~vANDEusEN vANIsHEs.
The Case Against Him is Dismissed aud
He Disappears.

Chas. K. V~andeusen, the alleged en-
bezzler, is now a free man and probably
at the time this paper reaches the public,
on his way east. The case against him
was not prosecuted by Smith & Harring-
ton, not for lack of evidence, however, as
the circumstances of the young mans
misdeeds were well known. He was re-
leased from custody by consent OF Prose-
cutting Attorney Stoll aud Mr.. John
Harrington upon payment of the fees ac-
cruing incident to the arrest and impris-
onment. Vandeusen has much to thank
these gentlemen for. But for their pity,
sympathy and charity the prisoner would
now be occupying a felon's cell instead of
enjoying the liberty and privileges pop
ularly supposed to be the exclusive right
of honest people.
All are satisfied hat the affair has ter
minated in this manner. 1t has taught
the young man a lasting lesson; not severe,
but an experience which he will remem-
Der when again tempted to depart from
the path of rectitude. To punish and
disgrace so young a nan of Vandeusen's
accomplishments, education and natural
ability would have been to ruin the ma
terial fol a reliable and worthy citizen.
As the case now stands his friends, and
he made not a few during his ~sojourn in
Cheyenne, are confident that he will cease
his reckless habits, torswear evil asso-
ciates and lead an honorable life the re-
mainder of his existence.

THE BURGLAR ARRAIGNED.
Carr, Alias Jones, Held in the sum of
$500 Until Next Fall.

Carr, alias Jones, will have four indict-
ments pending against him at the open
ing of the next term of the district court.
He was arraigned before Judge Lee, yes
terday, charged with the burglary of
Hattie Hammond's room on or about
July 10.
The first witness was Policeman F. G..
Van Thommason, who apprehended and
arrested the prisoner. He testified that
he had first found a watch, the property
of Hattie Hammond, In the possession of
j. W. Branstedt, who stated that it had
been pledged to him July IL by Carr for
a loan of $40.
MI. Branstedt corroborated the testi-
mony of Officer Thommason as to lending
Carr $40 and receiving the watch in ques-
ton as security.
Hattie Hammond identified the time
piece as her property and testified that it
had been stolen from her room between
II o'clock and daylight the morning of
July 10. That the burglar had broken
Stats of the window shutter and elevated
the latter, thus efecting an entrance.
She did not know the prisoner, and had
never seen him before.
Mrs. Madensky. who rented rooms in the
house where the burglary had been COM
mitted testified. She stated that the rob-
Der had undoubtedly forced an entrance to
Miss Hammond's room, as the shutter
had been securely fastened inside the
night of the occurrence, and bore evil
dences of having been cut when exam
ined the following day.
After Ed. Cook stated that the prison
er had endeavored to pawn a watch to
himself the prosecution closed. L. NJ.
Fisher, who has been engaged as counsel
by Carr, stated that the defense had no
evidence to offer. Judge Lee then re-
quested the prisoner to furnish bonds in
the sum of $500 for his appearance at the
lei term of district court. He failed to
secure a bondsman and was returned to
the county jail The material witnesses
furnished 500 security each for their APP
pearance.

A LIVELY SESSION.
The City Council Receives Two
NumerOusIy Signed Petitions.
Citizens Who Desire the West End
Establishments Suppressed.
Water Question Discussed and the
Fire Limits Extended.

At the council meeting last night there
were present Mayor Riner and Aldermen
Murray, Hammond, Griffin, Maroney,
Altman, Keefe.
A petition was presented from resi-
dents OF blocks 386-S7, requesting that
the fire limits of the city be extended be-
yond these blocks, which are bounded by
Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Evans streets
aud Warren avenue. The document was
referred to the fire committee, which re-
ported favorably upon it, after which an
ordinance was drawn and passed, comply
ing with the request.
The Pioneer hook and ladder requested
n rebate of $50 on the price paid for a lot
in the cemetery. referred to cemetery
committee and money refunded.
Two numerously signed petitions were
read by the clerk. They substantially
prayed hat the laws of the territory and
ordinances of the city of Cheyenne be
enforced in regard to the maintenance Of
houses of i'll fame, and the renting Of
structures by owners to d~isreputable ten
ants. Aldermen Hammond and Maroney
each made a few remarks on the subject,
the latter growing quite eloquent and as
serting among other things that the city
council should protect the young children
of Cheyenne, and that Chicago" should
be suppressed entirely. Both petitions
were taken charge of by the police com
mittee.
At this juncture Richard Rogers ad-
vanced and stated that he would like to
mention a few grievances on behalf OF
residents of the West End, after which
he made an eloquent and stirring appeal
to the mayor and members of the council,
stating that the nuisances in that vicinity
were well nigh unbearable; that night
was made hideous and day indecent by
the carnivals of white and black frequent
ers of the resorts in that neighborhood
and their associates.
He was followed by Mr.. G. w. Clark,
the grocer, who exposed some sensational
truths to the gaze of the councilmen, and
corroborated the views of Mr.. Rogers as
to the impossibility of successfully con-
Quoting a respectable business west of
Themes street.
There was a lively discussion upon the
subject of allowing the fair association to
obtain water from the city lakes. 1t is
now said that if the city allows the asso-
citation to use water from the corporation
reservoirs the municipal authorities would
lose control of the water right, for the
reason that the fair grounds are outside
the city limits. The city attorney sug-
gested that if such was the case cheyenne
had already disposed of her priority of
rlghs by selling water to John Eames and
Maj. Talbot. The water committee set
tied the matter for the present by recon-
mending that the association be allowed to
lay a main and use water, provided the
city attorney was OF the opinion that the
same could be done without jeopardizing
the water rights of the city. The report
was adopted as read.
The following bills were then presented
and allowed:

The room Of II. f. Hart, who is en-
ployed by ii. L. T~eschemacher, was bur
glarlzed some weeks since. The thief had
effected an entrance into a second story
window by scaling a telegraph pole Just
outside the house and had appropriated
a collection of portable booty, including a
coat and vest, a lady's necklace, a revolv-
er, set of shirt studs, pair of shoes and a
small gold watch. Yesterday the latter
article was found in a pawnbroker's estab-
lishment and identified as the property of
MIR. Hart. 1t was undoubtedly disposed
of by the burglar now in custody at the
county Jail, as the pawn ticket calling for
the timepiece was among the property in
Jones possession at the time of his arrest.
On the occasion of the thief's appearance
in the Justices court yesterday, Mr.. Hart
gazed at him for a moment and turned
away in disgust with the remark, We'll,
that fellow is a dandy. He's wearing my
shoes right now"

F. w. Gilchrist took the contract
of releasing the wrecked schooner
Mineral State, which ran ashore al
North Point, October 29th-the con.
tract price for delivering her at thi,
port being 81, 400. One of Mr.. Gil
christ's steam pumps was taken to hel
and placed aboard. A number Of
men were engaged and some horse.
were also taken out, to be used in
hauling the barrels of plaster out Of
the hold. The work commenced on
Tuesday of last week, and by Thurs
day noon the greater part of the car
60 had been dumped overheard and
the disabled craft pumped out and
towed here. While on her way in she
had a narrow escape from laundering
when outside the bay. The paper
that was on the end of the barrels had
clogged the pump so that it would
not work. As the vessel leaked like
a sieve, she began to fiji with water
very fast. The tug Ralph, which had
her in charge, was headed for the
shore, and everything got in readiness
to get away from the schooner in case
she should fill before shallow water
was reached. Alongside was dashed
the schooner Minnie Davis. For O
short time the scene was an exciting
one. At last the pump was freed
from the distractions and again be-
gan its work, and the danger was over
The vessel was brought. to this port
another pump was placed on board
so that if one gave out, the othel
would be in readiness, and late Satur
day night, the tug Sumner, which hat
just returned from taking the propell
err Arctic to Detroit, left again for th'
same place, towing the disabled
schooner-as Mr.. Gilchrist had taker
another contract to deliver the Miner
al State at Detroit, and successfully
completed the contract. The schoon
err was badly damaged, and her rud
der was disabled. Her entire cargo
consisting of several thousand barrel
of plaster was ruined, being turned
into stone. While here, the citizen
had an opportunity TO see what larg'
amount of water the steam pumps
would raise out of the vessel.

The Detroit Free Press has the fol-
lowing to say concerning Capt. Nc
Kenzie and his crew: 1.-THE life saw
ing crew of Middle Island did noble
work in rescuing the crew of the barge
Nellie Mason, during the storm Sat-
urday morning, October Goth, at
Presque Isle. They dragged their
boat mile through the woods oppo-
site the wreck, and she swamped sew
eral times as they attempted to launch
her, and several men were thrown in
to the water and were almost dead
with cold, but, like heroes, they cue
ceeded in reaching the vessel and res.
cuing the crew, who we're clinging to
the icy wreck. The seas completely
buried the wrecked barge, and, if the
crew had not been soon rescued, they
would have persisted, as she was soon
coated with ice to the mast heads, and
full of water"

The system of numbering houses
adopted by this city is known as thu
Philadelphia system. The starting
points are from Second and Chisholm
streets. As an illustration: The first
number on Chisholm street, on west
side of Second street, will be 101 on
the right, and 1902 on the left. The
odd numbers are on the right hand
side, and the even numbers on the
left. A distance of % feet front on
the street is allowed to every number
The first house on the right hand
corner of the second block is POI, the
first house on the third block is 301
The first Of the three figures tell,
what block it is. Take number 912
west Chisholm street, as an illustra'
ton: 1t means the ninth block from
west side of Second street and the
twelfth residence from the corner Of
said ninth block. Between Second
street and the bay, the numbers are
in same order, only being east. The
first number of right hand side being
101 east. All other streets running
east and west from Second and Dock
streets are numbered in the same way
Those streets are not exactly east and
west from Second, but are termed Sc
for the purpose of numbering. In re.
gard to other streets that do not inter.
scot Second street, they are numbered
from Chisholm street. Take First
street for an example: The first mum.
Der on the right hand side, north Of
Chisholm, will be 101, and in describ.
ing it you would say 101 north; and
the fret number on the right hand
side of First street, from Chisholm,
and looking towards tho Trinity rec.
tory, is 101 south. All the numbers
on the streets, intersecting Chisholm
street, on the southerly side of CHS.
holm street, are south, and all the
numbers on the streets that intersect
Chisholm street, north eide, are north,
Numbers are assigned to empty lots.
Suppose block is just wide enough
to allow Ave spaces, each 20 feet wide,
and there are only three houses on the
right hand sids-one at each corner
